Hardest part of the whole swap is making sure your brake booster hose is clear of the OPS so it doesn't snap.

I've heard that's almost unavoidable.. How hard is it to clear the sender?

That's what I wanted to hear! I think I have a slight advantage, as my motor mounts are completely shot and I have plenty of room above the intake because of this.

I have 1 7/8 headers on the way aswell, and this weekend I'll be ordering spohn solid motor mounts. I plan on doing the intake first, because the spohns raise the engine like an inch for header clearance I believe.

Anyway, thanks for the info!

Ya the 1 7/8 headers are definitely the way to go. The motor mounts can be a pain to install.
